Construction Contracts, Pavilion, Chicago Circle (13) O n May 22, 1979, bids will be received for two categories of work for the Pavilion at the Chicago Circle campus. In order for the project to proceed as scheduled, it will be necessary for these contracts to be awarded prior to the June 1979 meeting of the Board of Trustees. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the comptroller be authorized to act for the board in awarding the following contracts to the lowest responsible bidders, provided that the bid prices do not exceed the following amounts: Excavation and backfill $200 000 Temporary electric service 25 000 Funds are available from the proceeds of the sale of University of Illinois Auxiliary Facilities System Revenue Bonds, Series N. Contractors' Fees for Minor Building Maintenance, Remodeling, and New Construction, Chicago Campuses (14) On June 21, 1978, and November 17, 1978, the Board of Trustees approved the award of cost-plus contracts for minor building maintenance, remodeling, and new construction at the Chicago Circle and Medical Center campuses for the fiscal year ending on June 30, 1979, with an option by the University to extend these contracts for an additional period from July 1, 1979, through June 30, 1980, upon the same terms and conditions. The Physical Plant Department at the Chicago campuses has recommended the exercise of the option since it will be more economical than rebidding the project. The president of the University, with the concurrence of appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the option as described be exercised.
